In showers that were scattered but with the crowd support solid, Elspeth
Curran was first across the line in Britain’s largest women-only 10k run.
Curran, of Kilbarchan, Renfrewshire, led more than 7,000 participants home
in the Bupa Great Women’s 10k in Glasgow with a personal best of 34 minutes
59 seconds.

One of the official celebrity starters was not a runner but an Olympic judo
medallist — Gemma Gibbons won silver for Team GB last year, Britain’s first
judo medal for 12 years. She said: “I’d heard the atmosphere in Glasgow was
fantastic and I wasn’t disappointed.”
